oPELoUsAs PARISH OF ST. LANDRY 10, 1887
JURY LIST.

Be it known that we the undersigned jury
Commissioners did, on this the 18th day OF An-
gust, A. ID. 1887 meet Mt the Clerks Office, IN
the town of Opelonsas, parish OF st. Landry,
for the purpose of drawing a jury Tor the
regular term of the District Court ct the 18th
Judicial District, under section D, Act No. 81,
Of the regular session of 1877; all the members
being present. Diomei Dnrio, one of the sand
members, drew from the general venire box
one at a time, the names Of the following fifty
persons to compose the grand and petit jurors
for the first week Of the said Court, con- M
mencing MONDAY. the 18th day OF

A correspondent of the Times -Democart
touches a topic of interest to our people, con
cerning an industry which has been too long
neglected, but. would now seem to be on fair
way of being developed under the intelligent
management of some OF our enterprising busi-
ness men. The correspondent says:
THE most important agricultural topic ln
Opelousas is the commencement by Mr.. Al
phonse Levy of a series of natural hay ship
ments to New Orleans. The few bales al
ready sent have been found excellent in quail.
ity, and the commission merchant in the Z es-
cent City, foreseeing ready market for the
Louisiana hay, is eagerly writing for further
shipments
Mr. Levy expects to supply no less than 1000
tons. The hay is elassed by the New Orleans
inspectors as Johnson grass, and being exceed
ngly we'll cured, is little if at ali inferior to
the best Western hay The failure of the lat
ter crop this season makes the native article
still more in demand. Western hay is at pres
ent quoted at $22 SO per ton in New Orleans.
The st. Landry hay has so far sold at once at
$l2 SO per ton, and will certainly rise to $l5 or
Sl7 before long. At these prices the shipper
can make handsome profit. The total cost
per ton, including freight, handling and de-
livering, is about 81. Systematic management
may reduce this amount, and under no circum-
stances need the sum exceed 81. Thus even
at the present quotations ($l2 50l there is LETT
profit of "a so per ton. AS each acre will
produce two tons, and two crops can be gath
cred each year, it will be seen that Mr.. Al
phopse Levy is not far wrong when be asserts
that the hay crop of Southwestern Louisiana
may be made its most valuable product.
Mr.. Levy, few days ago exhibited to US q
detailed statement of the facts and figures of
which the above is concise synopsis, which
/ it was our nteution to publish, but as he did
not find time to attend to the matter, We give
! the above as being sufficiently explicit to
establish the fact that the hay indus
! try in our parish can be made one of its lead
| ing sources of revenue, aud one OF its most
reliable and remuneratiye crops.
The following shows the tourishlng condt
! tion of this new Industry in Natchitoches par
/ isb and it certainly ought to prove as good,
/ if not better iu st. Landry if properly handled
The Natchitoches Repie,o says: "One OF the
most hopeful indications for the future OF
this parish is, we think. the fact that many
! OF our most enterprising farmers are rapidly
developing the hay industry here. There are
one or two men i'll the parish who raise more
| hay now than was raised in the whole parish
ten or twelve years ago. As an instance we
mention that Mr.. j. c. Thomason has already
pressed 1900 bales of firstcass Bermuda and
johnson grass, and has as much more to cut
Mr.. j. Alphonse Prudhomme also deyotes
much time to this new industry, and has beer
very successful in raising and marketing hi'
hay, which is of superior quality and Away!
commands the best price, sometimes as muct
as 500. so per ton"

NO. Times Democrat: One of the Reform"
papers, speaking of personal government in
Louisiana, remarked rather naively the other
day that it did not mean to say that all of
Coy. McEnery's appointments were personal,
but that some Of them were. In other words,
the editor waas we'll satisfied when the Gov
ernor appointed men whom he favored or had
recommended. but complained of personal ap-
pointments when his recommendations were
not considered aud some one else was selected
by the Governor whom the latter deemed bet
ter suited for the place. This is the whole
mystery of this personal appointment cry.
There is scarcely one of the men attacking
the Governor ON this issue who has not asked
for or recommended the appointment OF
friends. TIC nine out of ten of these friends
we're appointed, because we'll recommended
and found by the Governor, upon investiga-
ton, to be competent, all well and good but
when the Governor appointed for the tenth
place some other person than that recon-
mended by onr "reformer," either because be
found better man for the office or for some
other good cause, it is a case of personal gov
ernment.

The Barbecue and speaking.

according TO previous announcement the
opening barbecue and speech making Of the
guDernatorlai campaign took place here ON
iase Monday AS usual upon such occasions
an immense crowd gathered, but the amount
OF applause which greeted the brightest ut.
terances of the distinguished orators on that
occasion does not warrant the assertion that
ghe political enthusiasm of the people Of St.
Landry has yet been awakened to lively in
terest. The Hon. Fl. L. Garland was made
president OF the meeting assisted by long
me OF vice presidents. many of whom would
not, could not or did not serve. Mr.. Gar
land paid glowing enlogy to the military
ana civil servlces of ex-governor +. L. Mich,
OILS. He then introduced the first speaker,
Ten. Allen Thomas, who was warmly APP
plauded by some of his old soldiers of the late
war Gen. Thomas opened his speech by ex-
Loillng the bravery and patriotism of the ST.
Landry volunteers during the late struggle,
he then arraigned the administration of Gov.
McEneFy, giving the credit of the improve
ment OF the leyees to Senator Gibson; brought
up the exploded charges OF the John McEnery
land contract, the = Tensas frauds or Rut-
land contract, laying the blame npon Gov,
McEnery and the Superintendent Of Educa-
ton. He repudiated the pretensions of Nc
Emery as levee, educational and agricultr-
raj governor and paid fiattering tribute to
ten. Nichols as a patriot, soldier, and states
man.
raou' T. ming LSq., ID rising young lawyer
OF New Orleans, was the next speaker. His
effort was devoted to an assumed expose ei
McEnery Is administration as a personal GOV
ernment, organized for the purpose of perpet
uating his power and continuing his friends
in Office, and in denouncing the third tern
idea as undemocratic and dangerous in its eff
feets.
Gen. Nichols was received with more en-
thusiasm than the other speakers. He frs
explained Why he was making personal can
vas of the State, and defended the acts of hi
administration in 1876, which had been at
| tackled by the opposition press. He alluded
to the political apathy of the people in 1888
and 1886 as compared to the active interest o
the masses in 1876 In answer to question
he denied having bolted the Convention il
the second Congressional district, but mad,
speeches against Mr.. st. Martin and his spon
sors because he did not think he was legiti
mately nominated, and to give rebnke t
the rascals who ruled the convention
Don Caffery, Esq, of ST. Mary, r. s. Perry
Esq, of New iberia, and e. T. Lewis, Esq, o
| st. Landry, also delivered speeches.
The occasion passed off quietly and rathe
tamely for so large an assemblage of the pee
pie. Our people are thinking more abou
their crops and the ravages of caterpillars
/ than political matters
